Perfil epidemiológico das puérperas e nascidos vivos no estado de Goiás

Objective: To describe and analyze the profile of live births of mothers living in the State of Goiás between 2010 and 2016. Methods: This is a descriptive, quantitative and retrospective study based on secondary data of live births of mothers residing in the state of Goiás between 2010 and 2016, from the Information System on Live Births. Results: In relation to the maternal profile, hospital delivery (99.5%) and maternal age of 20-39 years (53%) were predominant. Regarding the obstetric profile, preterm pregnancies (84.5%), cesarean delivery (69.54%) and seven or more prenatal consultations (66.77%) prevailed. In the profile of live births: birth weight above 2,500 grams (92%) and Apgar between 8-10 in the 1st and 5th minute (87.29% and 97.32%) respectively, were the majority in the sample studied. Only 0.64% of live births presented congenital malformation. Conclusion: The live births of the State of Goiás were, for the most part, male, at the end of operative deliveries, without congenital malformations and the children of young mothers, married and with more than eight years of study. Knowing the profile of live births can collaborate in the planning of more effective actions in the scope of the health of the woman and the child.Objetivo: Descrever e analisar o perfil de nascidos vivos de mães residentes no estado de Goiás entre 2010 e 2016. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo descritivo, quantitativo e retrospectivo a partir de dados secundários dos nascidos vivos de mães residentes no estado de Goiás, entre 2010 e 2016, a partir do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos. Resultados: Em relação ao perfil materno, o parto hospitalar (99,5%) e idade materna de 20-39 anos (53%) foram predominantes. No tocante ao perfil obstétrico, prevaleceram as gestações a termo (84,5%), o parto cesáreo (69,54%) e a realização de sete ou mais consultas pré-natais (66,77%). No perfil dos nascidos vivos: peso ao nascer superior a 2.500 gramas (92%) e Apgar entre 8-10 no 1º e 5º minuto (87,29% e 97,32%) respectivamente, foram maioria na amostra estudada. Apenas 0,64% dos nascidos vivos apresentaram malformação congênita. Conclusões: Os nascidos vivos do Estado de Goiás eram, em sua maioria, do sexo masculino, a termo, de partos operatórios, sem malformações congênitas e filhos de mães jovens, casadas e com mais de oito anos de estudo. Conhecer o perfil de nascidos vivos pode colaborar no planejamento de ações mais efetivas no âmbito da saúde da mulher e da criança

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set.
